Cannot replicated (Note that I did not install the listed extensions): image

Looks like this is a pre-defined ligature, check https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/#ligatures. Strange one though, and I do not understand what it means.

Feel free to close this as non-issue.

Not an issue of VS Code, but font ligature. You can disable all ligatures in VS Code settings, or submit request in font's repo.
